Quadruple-precision floats#

Note

The functionality described in this section is available only if mp++ was configured with the MPPP_WITH_QUADMATH option enabled (see the installation instructions).

Added in version 0.5.

#include <mp++/real128.hpp>

The real128 class#

class mppp::real128#

Quadruple-precision floating-point class.

This class represents real values encoded in the quadruple-precision IEEE 754 floating-point format (which features up to 36 decimal digits of precision). The class is a thin wrapper around the __float128 type and the quadmath library, available on GCC, Clang and the Intel compiler on most modern platforms, on top of which it provides the following additions:

  • interoperability with other mp++ classes,

  • consistent behaviour with respect to the conventions followed elsewhere in mp++ (e.g., values are default-initialised to zero rather than to indefinite values, conversions must be explicit, etc.),

  • enhanced compile-time (constexpr) capabilities,

  • a generic C++ API.

Most of the functionality is exposed via plain functions, with the general convention that the functions are named after the corresponding quadmath functions minus the trailing q suffix. For instance, the quadmath code

__float128 a = 1;
auto b = ::sinq(a);

that computes the sine of 1 in quadruple precision, storing the result in b, becomes in mp++

real128 a{1};
auto b = sin(a);

where the sin() function is resolved via argument-dependent lookup.

Various overloaded operators are provided. Alternative comparison functions treating NaNs specially are also provided for use in the C++ standard library (and wherever strict weak ordering relations are needed).

The real128 class is a literal type, and, whenever possible, operations involving real128 are marked as constexpr. Some functions which are not constexpr in the quadmath library have been reimplemented as constexpr functions via compiler builtins.

A tutorial showcasing various features of real128 is available.

__float128 m_value#

The internal value.

This class member gives direct access to the __float128 instance stored inside a real128.

constexpr real128()#

Default constructor.

The default constructor will set this to zero.

real128(const real128&) = default#
real128(real128&&) = default#

real128 is trivially copy and move constructible.

explicit constexpr real128(const __float128 &x)#

Constructor from a __float128.

This constructor will initialise the internal __float128 value to x.

Parameters:

x – the __float128 that will be assigned to the internal value.

template<real128_interoperable T>
constexpr real128(const T &x)#

Constructor from interoperable types.

This constructor will initialise the internal value to x. Depending on the value and type of x, this may not be exactly equal to x after initialisation (e.g., if x is a very large integer).

Parameters:

x – the value that will be used for the initialisation.

Throws:

std::overflow_error – in case of (unlikely) overflow errors during initialisation.

template<real128_cpp_complex T>
explicit constexpr real128(const T &c)#

Note

This constructor is constexpr only if at least C++14 is being used.

Added in version 0.20.

Constructor from complex C++ types.

The initialisation is is successful only if the imaginary part of c is zero.

Parameters:

c – the input complex value.

Throws:

std::domain_error – if the imaginary part of c is not zero.

template<string_type T>
explicit real128(const T &s)#

Constructor from string.

This constructor will initialise this from the string_type s. The accepted string formats are detailed in the quadmath library’s documentation (see the link below). Leading whitespaces are accepted (and ignored), but trailing whitespaces will raise an error.

Parameters:

s – the string that will be used to initialise this.

Throws:
  • std::invalid_argument – if s does not represent a valid quadruple-precision floating-point value.

  • unspecified – any exception thrown by memory errors in standard containers.

explicit real128(const char *begin, const char *end)#

Constructor from range of characters.

This constructor will initialise this from the content of the input half-open range, which is interpreted as the string representation of a floating-point value.

Internally, the constructor will copy the content of the range to a local buffer, add a string terminator, and invoke the constructor from string.

Parameters:
  • begin – the begin of the input range.

  • end – the end of the input range.

Throws:

unspecified – any exception thrown by the constructor from string or by memory errors in standard containers.

real128 &operator=(const real128&) = default#

The real overload is available only if mp++ was configured with the MPPP_WITH_MPFR option enabled. The complex overload is available only if mp++ was configured with the MPPP_WITH_MPC option enabled.

Note

The complex128 overload is constexpr only if at least C++14 is being used.

These operators are formally equivalent to converting x to real128 and then move-assigning the result to this.

Parameters:

x – the assignment argument.

Returns:

a reference to this.

Throws:

unspecified – any exception raised by the conversion of x to real128.

template<string_type T>
real128 &operator=(const T &s)#

return *this = real128{s};

That is, a temporary real128 is constructed from s and it is then move-assigned to this.

Parameters:

s – the string that will be used for the assignment.

Returns:

a reference to this.

Throws:

unspecified – any exception thrown by the constructor from string.

explicit constexpr operator __float128() const#

template<real128_interoperable T>
explicit constexpr operator T() const#

Conversion operator to interoperable types.

This operator will convert this to a real128_interoperable type.

Conversion to C++ types is implemented via direct cast, and thus no checks are performed to ensure that the value of this can be represented by the target type.

Conversion to rational, if successful, is exact.

Conversion to integral types will produce the truncated counterpart of this.

Returns:

this converted to T.

Throws:

std::domain_error – if this represents a non-finite value and T is integer or rational.

The first overload is constexpr only if at least C++14 is being used. The second overload is constexpr only if at least C++20 is being used.

Conversion member functions to interoperable and complex C++ types.

These member functions, similarly to the conversion operator, will convert this to T, storing the result of the conversion into rop. Differently from the conversion operator, these functions do not raise any exception: if the conversion is successful, the functions will return true, otherwise the functions will return false. If the conversion fails, rop will not be altered. The conversion can fail only if T is either integer or rational, and this represents a non-finite value.

Added in version 0.20: The conversion function to complex C++ types.

Parameters:

rop – the variable which will store the result of the conversion.

Returns:

true if the conversion succeeds, false otherwise.

std::string to_string() const#

Convert to string.

This member function will convert this to a decimal string representation in scientific format. The number of significant digits in the output (36) guarantees that a real128 constructed from the returned string will have a value identical to the value of this.

The implementation uses the quadmath_snprintf() function from the quadmath library.

Returns:

a decimal string representation of this.

Throws:

std::runtime_error – if the internal call to the quadmath_snprintf() function fails.

std::tuple<std::uint_least8_t, std::uint_least16_t, std::uint_least64_t, std::uint_least64_t> get_ieee() const#

Get the IEEE representation of the value.

This member function will return a tuple containing the IEEE quadruple-precision floating-point representation of the value. The returned tuple elements are, in order:

  • the sign of the value (1 for a negative sign bit, 0 for a positive sign bit),

  • the exponent (a 15-bit unsigned value),

  • the high part of the significand (a 48-bit unsigned value),

  • the low part of the significand (a 64-bit unsigned value).

Returns:

a tuple containing the IEEE quadruple-precision floating-point representation of the value stored in this.

Returns:

the unbiased exponent of this, as an int or as a real128.

bool signbit() const#

Sign bit.

This member function will return the value of the sign bit of this. That is, if this is not a NaN the function will return true if this is negative or \(-0\), false otherwise. If this is NaN, the sign bit of the NaN value will be returned.

true if the sign bit of this is set, false otherwise.

Note

This function is not constexpr if the Intel C++ compiler is being used.
